Testing the printer

When you print a configuration page, the printer checks its internal controller and I/O interface and then prints a test page. You can review the configuration page printout to verify proper installation of such options as paper trays or printer languages. For more information, see the service manual.

Engine test

The printer has a built-in test pattern (pairs of vertical lines). The test print can be made by pressing the test-print switch located on the left side of the printer once after the photosensitive drum has stopped and the printer has entered the Standby mode. If the switch is held down, the test pattern is printed continuously. The switch can be used when media is loaded in any tray other than tray 1.

Note

For the printer to perform an engine test, tray 2, 3, or 4 must be installed and loaded with media, and the toner cartridge must be installed in the printer.
